'attack-wise?' Maybe you need some snakeskin boots and a helmet.
I suppose I can hear Keith 'attacking' the fretboard in SFTD but I'm not really sure what you mean by 'attack-wise.' Can you point out some other songs where Keith goes on attack? He plays a very rugged, aggressive guitar on, say, Monkey Man but I think you mean something different, yes?

He was never a flashy player. What could he play then that he can't play now? I would say not much.

WTF? Keith used to play blistering, fast leads in the early days of the band. He played lead, Brian played rhythm. His speed declined and he became a chunkier rhythm player, usually only playing lead on Chuck Berry type songs from the late 60s onward. Still, take circa '81 Keith playing When The Whip Comes Down and compare it to the 2015 Keith playing the same song, and you would hear a massive decline.
Just to clarify, for what seems like the thousandth time, there are NO guitar overdubs on YaYa's.Quote

Not really, no. More to the point, the famous recording of Let It Rock from the Leeds show is (as far as we know) authentic - no overdubs or edits, unlike say Ya-Ya's. We have no idea how many takes Blues In The Morning is a product of, but I would bet it's quite a few.

Blistering fast leads? Keith? We are talking about the Stones right? Ok I admit my knowledge of early Stones is pretty weak but I'd love to hear what you are referring to.

I think Mathijis (I think I spelled that wrong, but whatever) did some deep diving into this topic? I just can't find the thread...

What I like about Keith's playing is the small number of notes he plays per second, not the speed with which he plays the notes. Eric Clapton can outpace most anyone in terms of notes per second (NPS), but that type of music is nerve shattering. I feel I need to take an anxiety drug after listening to Eric.
What impresses me about Keith is the number of sound effects he can make with his guitar. The initial rumbling riffs of Blues in the Morning resemble the sounds of a train slowly moving down the tracks. Then, there are guitar solos with Keith apparently playing one note at a time, then wild sections where he is playing two or three strings at the same time with great rhythm.
No one can make the guitar communicate so well.

His skills have diminished but he is still Keith and the greatest RIFFMASTER
of all time.

Blues in the Morning is your shining example of Keith's stellar playing?
As generic a 'Jam' as ever there was?
His guitar playing,when he deigns to actually play has diminished a great deal.

Blues In The Morning is a great example. For us who love the early Stones it reminds us about what Keith is all about and where the Stones came from. In many ways, the start of that track really shows what's so unique about Keith's guitar player. No one else would have done it like that, or that well.

People are obviously fans of the Stones for different reasons, and we have learned the last few weeks that Keith Richards's playing and singing not necessarily has anything to do with why others like the Stones. Quite on the contrary, a couple of years ago people were playing with the thought of replacing him!
For me that is baffling, but my reasons for loving the Stones are probably baffling to others as well

Hopefully somebody can find the quote from the many publications,
